So if/when i start this weekend, i may be missing some replays/flashbacks, but when Patch 1 Lite is released, all of those should come back. And the crashing shouldnt be an issue as its a new franchise. Is taht right? Also, are people, anyone, seeing flashbacks at all now? If you hit a jack in the 2nd inning, do they flash back to it the next at bat, or does it skip it?

Yes if you start over now you should be fine

Some of you guys are so uptight that the slightest criticism will inflame the developer that its just too much imo. We shouldn't have to filter our comments on a message board or in certain forums just because a developer shows up. You are right though Ruffy. Russell and the rest of the dev team don't have to be here. They chose to be here. They chose to come before the game released, interact heavily and provide a lot of great info to advertise for the game. It's a give and take. If they want to come here and market the game and accept the praise that most people give the series, then they have to also accept the negatives and answer the hard questions. I have a big problem when any develop comes on a message board, posts like crazy to promote a product and then pleads the 5th amendment when asked a tough question. I'm not even saying Russell is pleading the 5th but some of you guys are trying to do it for him. Russell's a big boy and many want to hear what he has to say. If they voice frustration over a delay in getting info that's fine. This is a forum to do just that. Edit: And now Russell has responded. And people are thankful.

Just to clear this up I'm not here to sell you or market the game to you neither is anyone else from the development team that visits these boards.

I am not a part of the marketing team in any way shape form or fashion let me be clear about that. We are here to interact with the community and help bridge the gap between the development team and our consumer base so that we may put out the best product year in and year out.

If your franchise/RTTS is freezing because of patch number 2 you will need to start your franchise/RTTS over. Its the extra game in the schedule that threw it off which is what's causing that crash. Deleting that file and starting over should aleviate that issue.

Okay so the next patch will only have the replays fixed right?

That's how I am reading/understanding it, Razr!

And Russell...ignore the bums. We know why you are here, and that is why we continue to buy and play the greatest Baseball Sim on the Market.

Line ups are part of thr realism of the game. If they are going to call it the most realistic experience then I should not have to use modified rosters to get a feature to work. Line ups are part of the realism of mlb baseball and so is dh stamina. So is 60 day dl issue...those are all part of baseball. I don't want to use modied rosters. I want to use the rosters that came with the game. Those should be the ones with no issues and I should not have to buy a second controller to get the line ups to work like they did last yea So don't tell me to play something else. Don't tell me to use modied rosters to get over the issues. I don't tell you to hate the game or love the game I am not insulting scea or being unreseonable with my dissapointment. Stop trying to tell people that we are making to much of a deal just cuz u feel that way...

Guru, it was just a suggestion, since you can't seem to get over these issues. I don't care what you play, but I do hate to see your same rant every single day(shouldn't be called realistic, don't want to play with edited rosters, shouldn't have use workarounds to play the game).

Everyone here, including Russell understands that you feel this way. So forgive me for trying to help you enjoy the game. If you would rather cry than play, by all means......Proceed!!

In Russell's quote it only addresses the replay glitch so for better or worse i would say people can start or continue their seasons/franchises now knowing that the replay glitch will be fixed soon and that franchises or RTTS with the glitches probably should be started over fresh. The latter part is my opinion.

Next week sometime we are planning to release a mini patch to fix the replay issues that were caused by patch number 2. There won't be any other fixes and changes made to the game in this update.

# 988 ferriscj24 @ 05/01/09 06:49 PM

Wow, Kuban. I'll read that and maybe even respond to it when you edit it and write without CAPS LOCK.

Hi so .... can you get to the point where you can play the game without the 1.06 patch ?

Meaning delete the game data and load the game be do not download the patch ?

If you can I would just stay away from the patches .... and play the game and have fun ..

Chris

I'm totally with you on that sentiment, brotha!

You can without a doubt claim that MLB 09 features the best GAMEPLAY ever in a baseball game. But having lineups where Todd Helton leads off and David Ortiz plays 1st base over Kevin Youkilis really dampers the "sim" aspect of the game. Also, if we're at a point where we're pointing to fixes created by community members as the only viable way to enjoy this game, I'd suggest that SCEA pay Knight and Doc commission for figuring out how to make something work that even their programmers couldn't crack.

I disagree. It's the best sim even if Helton leads off and Ianetta bats 4th.

For example, the other baseball game maker doesn't have these lineup issues, but it doesn't matter, it's not gonna give you anywhere close to a good simulation. It won't give you a good sim because the gameplay is very very bad. The Show on the other hand, even with some goofy lineups still gives you a great sim(realistic games). So yes, The Show, even with the problems, is the most realistic sim out....Period!!

# 994 tgreer @ 05/01/09 07:03 PM

Guys, quick question. Plan on starting my franchise Monday. Read where Russell said it is ok to go ahead and start and the replays will be grandfathered in which is great. Also saw where the extra game (I believe LA/SD) the first week of the season is what seems to be causing the problem. So we don't have to wait for the semi-patch to fix the schedule before starting our franchise?? Won't the schedule be messed up until the patch?? Sorry just kinda confused is all

I couldn't agree more. Russell and the crew could figure these things out, fix them and stamp 2010 on the cover and then go home until it's time to make The Show 2011

I love this game that much!!

# 996 Yanks1971 @ 05/01/09 07:09 PM

I just had to put my 2 cents in here ...

I been in the IT industry for a long time ... I appreciate this game as it has given me a lot of hours of enjoyment . I appreciate that Russell comes here to post and give feedback as he puts it "he is here to interact with the community "...

On the other hand I believe SCEA knew this was going to happen .There is no other reason why so many are having these problems .

The question is why would they not state that this would break your franchise or RTTS ? (on a webiste or when you downloaded the patch ) ...

Could it have been a lack of QA ? Do you really think that ?

I just think this is a lack of communication .... Microsoft does this sometimes with there patches ... they break things ..

I guess we will never know ..

Anyway have fun out there .

Does anyone know if the patch addressed the CPU being able to make 3 mounds visits?

Thank you!!!

I got that the day the patch was released. The only way I could get connected to SC was to actually quit out of the game and go back in and try again. It would work sometimes after doing that.
